What is a Sustainable practice?

We live in a fantastic world, one full of life and energy, and countless ecosystems, all living together. Each is filled with creatures that take a little and give a little. For life to continue, each must not take more than the world can give and each must not give more than the world can receive. Our world is vast and has profound bounties but to insure that our world persists, we must make sure that our processes don't consume at a faster rate than world can give.

It's simple math. Lets say that the world can make 1 apple every day, and right now, there are 100 apples in the world. We can eat 10 apples a day for a time, but that would not be sustainable. Eventually, we will eat all of the apples. However, if we can limit ourselves to 1 apple a day, then we will have apples forever. Eating 1 apple a day would be a Sustainable Practice.

A sustainable practice is designed to ... so that the vast stores of natural resources will always replenish, ... so that the natural restorative powers of the earth will never be overwhelmed.

There are many different industries that we religh on for our survival and our lifestyle.
